I have a lot of opinions on this (surprise, surprise). Yep, it's bad.

"We might be the generation that saves democracy - or the one that loses it." Phew, those are some powerful words. Please don't let us lose it. I can't take that to my grave. Let's count on saving it. If we keep it up, I have to believe that we will save it. I just have to believe.

How disingenuous is the surprise that Epstein's bestie did really sick stuff to children? One can simply look at the lawsuit by Jane Doe that was withdrawn just prior to November 2016 election...while clips of him bragging that he can just grab 'em were being aired. Our national misogyny is disgusting.

Beyond disgusting! And who really did kill Epstein??

Is anyone working on getting just one more Republican to sign the discharge petition? That’s all it would take.

If Mike Jihn wasn't an obstructionist, the final Democratic vote would have been sworn in 45 days ago, and this government shutdown would be at least an eighth closer in being resolved. But Mike “Grinder” Johnson is a possible also.

****Check out a person by the name of Donald Barr.

He was friends with Epstein.

He tapped Epstein to teach a financial class at Columbia.

Epstein taught his financial course at Columbia while involved with Baer.

Baer went bankrupt.

JP Morgan bought the bankrupt bundle.

Donald Barr died in 2008.

His son: William H Barr appointed by trump as ATTY GEN 2019 after Epstein died.

Bread Crumbs for ya…. 🤷‍♀️

Wasn’t Columbia one of the schools targeted recently as well?

Keeping momentum going is WAY easier than overcoming inertia. The window is open to go into those Republican strongholds with the message “[fill in the blank] voted to throw you under the bus. You get a chance in November 2026 to return the favor.” And be prepared to provide examples. And do this at the state and local level, where the issues are closest to their front door. Put up candidates that they KNOW, who com form their community. People they work with, go to church with , bowl with on Tuesday night. Republicans figured this shit out decades ago — but in the era of Trump? They’ve nationalized everything because of Fat Donny Two-Times who has to make everything about HIM.

It’s bad enough that Steve Bannon that if Trump looses, they both go to jail
